After receiving critical acclaim for his performance in his second film, Hello, Akhil Akkineni is all set to announce his third project on January 10. Akhil has good contacts in Bollywood and he is also known to the Hindi speaking audiences through brand endorsements.

In his latest interview with a popular Telugu daily, Akhil was asked if he will debut in Bollywood anytime soon. Akhil said that he would love to act in Bollywood, but he will think about signing Hindi films only after making his presence felt in Tollywood. He went on to say that he will work on Telugu-Hindi bilinguals if ever he comes across scripts he can’t refuse.

“I have no plans to distance myself from Telugu movies. Telugu is my mother tongue and I have my fans’ support here. There’s no need to discard them and act in other languages,” Akhil said.
